In an email released by WikiLeaks Monday, former Deputy Secretary of State and longtime Clinton ally Tom Nides wrote to John Podesta suggesting they get rid of the “official emails.”

“For what it’s worth. There is only one thing that needs to be done on this email thing. (Which I am sure nobody wants to do). Get a state dept career lawyer to go through all the emails and pull the official ones. I know all the reasons not to do it but it’s going to happen so we should do it. Btw you know as well as I every god damn cabinet officer and WH staff uses there gmail account!”

Nides is reported to be on Clinton’s short list to be White House Chief of Staff, should she win the election. He is a wealthy Morgan Stanley executive, and his wife is CNN Vice President Virginia Mosely.
